    Author: Marsano LS, Peña LR.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 1998; 45(20):331-9. PubMed ID: 9638402.
    Abstract:
    The following article reviews available data of the interaction of alcohol related liver disease and hepatitis C viral infection as well as special considerations for the treatment of these patients. Alcohol worsens the degree and accelerates the progression of hepatic injury, enhances the risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma and decreases response to interferon therapy. Patients with hepatitis C should avoid alcohol ingestion.
